Annoying little things that happen on a ride.

As per title... Quite annoying!

I dropped my phone of a bridge into a lake today.

Fortunately, it was only this deep!

 

[I like Skol]

And the phone survived to take a picture? Lucky.....

Police witnessing a close pass and being shouted at by a motorist, then completely ignoring it.

Yes, and even to post this thread!

Right now, serious chain slip in most gears, and knowing that it's entirely my fault as I neglected to change the chain months ago.

Should be sorted out tomorrow; parts arrived at work today so I can swap them during the day and I'll hopefully be able to accelerate and also ride in towns without drawing a crowd...

Having to head home

Meeting other cyclists moaning about their rides

Nothing, I just enjoy the ride.

Number one, a puncture

Nothing, I just enjoy the ride.

In that context, the end of the ride is sometimes annoying...

 

[Milkfloat]

Being dropped.

Swallowing bugs, always makes me gip

Tonights gifts include a rubbing chain, hitting a fat lump of tarmac I'd not spotted, the usual odd close-pass and taking a fat moth to the eye..

I need to ask, when a chain slips in certain gears, how do we establish whether it is the chain, chain ring or cassette that is at fault?
